*Note:  Thoughts from the Lord through ancient and modern prophets:  Children are taught dance steps without ever hearing the music.  They do not understand the joy of dancing.  In life, we teach our children to keep the commandments of God without learning to hear the Holy Spirit.                  I want my family and friends to have eyes to see the hand of God in their lives as I have come to see the works of His hands in my life and all around me, in all things.

9:00 AM - meet Jared at Thrive Nursery to pick up the apple tree in his pickup truck

I was up before 7 AM, had prayer, texted the HOA Court Yard Cove about one of the sprinkler that is spraying water on our patio and spraying too much water on our flowers and grape vine; I tried to call Richar Mayer and left a message about adjusting the sprinklers he installed and getting the rest of the garden covered for water; I also sent him a text. I texted Debbie and she called later.  She was up a lot with her mother last night and had gone back to Karlene to feed their dogs and Reed and Laura's horses.  We had prayer together and I drove over to Thrive Nursery to meet Jared.  He brought Tate and Jack with him.  I had the double-wheeled, wheelbarrow unloaded.  I had it filled with sand in the rose bush row.  We got it planted.  It is just a few inches shorter than the other apple and pear trees. We used the bamboo that it came with to attach to the cables the other apple and pear trees are attached to.  I worked on the sprinklers.  I have tried to get Richard Mayer for several days and he has not answered his phone or text.  Two sprinklers that face the house, sprayed water on the house not on the lawn.  I went to Sprinkler World where Richard shops and talked to them.  I bought one new sprinkler and they gave me parts to adjust the other.  I exchanged the one sprinkler for the new one.  I took the old one back and Haden said they would give Richard Mayer credit on his account for the returned sprinkler.  I got the weed barrier down for the north side of the fruit tree row and finished with landscape edging.  I texted Lomell Organization who has the contract for Courtyard Cove Landscaping about the sprinkler on the HOA side of our property that sprays too much water on our flowers and grapevine.  He texted me about giving me a price to adjust the sprinkler head but did not come by or call.  I took most of the day to work on the sprinklers and the 10-foot stretch of grapevines and a honeysuckle vine.  The garage door opener got the code changed yesterday when the storm came through and knocked the power off.  The only way we can open the garage door is from the inside where there is direct working.  I went to Costco to find a remote door opener for the side door to the garage.  They did not have any but I found one a Best Buy, Eufy Security for $215.49.   After reading the information from the company, I am not sure I want this particular lock.  It is exposed to extreme cold in the winter and rain in the winter and summer.  There is not a porch or covering.  I may return it on Monday.                                                   

Joe L. and Karlene, Debbie's sister, are having trouble getting home from Hawaii.  Debbie can't leave her mom until Karlen gets to Shelly.  Debbie wanted to attend Shelby's graduation from seminary tomorrow and from high school on Monday.  I worked cleaning and organizing my office workspace in the laundry room.  Debbie called, we talked,  Joe L. and Karlene will be home between 11:30 PM and midnight, and we had prayer together.
